Single: Custom Made - Somebody's Hurting



Bluff, Element, Scoobs and Six are the four young men that make up Custom Made; A new group hailing from L.A. that I have officially dubbed a cross between classic Mobb Deep and Hieroglyphics. I've followed these cats since they were signed to Babygrande (I think they actually still might be as well) and put an ear on all 5 of the mixtapes that they've dropped thus far....I'm telling you now, these kids is for real and are the next big thing outta L.A. when it comes to hardcore, real Hip-Hop.

"The Lost Weekend" is a compiled mix of Custom Made's unreleased tracks from the recording sessions of "Truth Be Told", "Heavy Traffic", "Great Expectations", "Original Dynasty" and some new material that the foursome has put together since the release of Six, who was serving time in jail for a parole violation. This right here is the ultra dope "Somebody's Hurting", a soulful, boom bap excursion that should give real heads out in Cali some hope.....
